,My invention relates to improvements inticket,

. racks which are adapted to contain strip tickets such as are sold by purveyors of bread, milk'and the like, the holder is adapted tosupport such 1 tickets in amanner whereby a single ticket may 1 be conveniently detached from any strip as may be desired, as, will be morefully-described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:---

ranged to support two strip ticketsside by side.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line ,4-4 of FigureB. In the drawing like characters, of reference indicate corresponding p artsin each figure.

open towards the centre of the panel. i

The centre portion of the panel is preferably bent to form a T-shaper rib 6, whichfdefines a .30 pair of opposed U-shaper guides '7. These latter are complementary to theguides 4, and the rib is so formed as to guides 5, i

, a The lower end of the panel 1 is outwardly Q curved as at 8 and the width of the guides is slightly reduced for the purpose of disposing the lowermost of. the tickets contained'in the guides in a position convenient to discharge, and also to impede the free downward movement or said Q10 tickets. A slot 9 is formed inthe lower tremity of the panel betweeneach pair of opposing guides which may, if desired, afford ac-' cess to -the lowermost ticketof each strip from the rear.

" Extending between opposing guides t lower extremity of the panel isa transverse member 10 whichis slightly rounded on its underside as at 11, see Figure 2 and is provided on its front with adownwardly turned lip '12 to form a '50 straight edge against which the lowermost ticket maybe freely severed from its strip.

In the modification shown in Figures 3 and 4, the panel is of single strip widthand; is providedwith a'plurality o1 opposing guides- 13,

14,15 and 16 respectively, which are of progressively decreasing length. The guides" 13, 14 i and 15 being outwardly turned at their lower extremities as at 1'7, 18 and 19 respectively to provide access to the lowermost tickets of the 1 strips therein. The guides 16 are preferably Fig. l is a. general View of the invention ar-' The panel is preferably formed 1 i with its marginal edges bent back, upon them- 25 selves in closely formed corrugations 3 to deflnepairs of U-shaped guides 4 and 5, which are lie below. the plane of the.

spaced further apart than those indicated by the numerals 13, 14 and 15, so as to'provide a holder of substantial width for a card 20 bearing advertising or other desired matter.

'It will" be obvious thatthe guides 4, 5, '7, 13, 14, 15 and 16 maybe formedin any other manner than that described and that the slots'9 at the lower extremity may be omitted without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The device may be supplied bya producer to his customers, in which case he would utilize the guides 5 of the invention as shown in Figures 1 and 2 or the guides 16 of the device as shown in Figures .3 and 4, to display therein cards 21 or 20 respectively as an advertisementfor his product and would sell to the customer strip tickets 22 having the usual transverse perforated lines 23 to divide the strip into separate tickets or units 24. A strip so bought is placed with its marginal 1 edges in opposing guides, such as between the right handguide "I and the right hand guide 4,

as shownin' Figure l, and is pressed downwardly until. its lower extremity is disposed beneath the transverse member 10, so that when a single ticket is required the lower extremity of the strip is gripped by the thumb and finger and drawn downwardly until the lowermost ticket is clear of thepanel, when, a twisting movement will sever itfrom the strip. The strip tickets mayalso be moved to project the lowermost ticket by simply applying the finger tip tothe strip and drawing it in a downward direction. 1

, Whatlclaimas my invention is:

V 1. A strip ticket holder comprising a pair of V opposed guides spaced apart and adapted to support a strip ticket by its maginal edges, means adjacent one end of the guides againstwhichthe strip ticket is adapted to be severed, and means for impeding the freemovement of the ticket amn the guides.

2. A strip ticket holder comprising a panel supporting. a pairof opposed guides between which a strip ticket is adapted to be supported by its turned to project beyondthe general plane of the panel and a transverse member connecting the marginal edges, said, guides being outwardly f guidesadjacent one end against which the strip 1 ticket is adapted to be severed. v

3. A strip ticket holder, comprising a panel, a plurality of superimposed pairs of parallel guides carried by the panel, the lower end of such sucl cessive pair of guides terminating at a point above the corresponding end of the previous pairpeach of said pair of guides being adapted to supports. strip ticket by its marginal edges, and each pair of guides being outwardly turned to project from the is adapted to be severed. 1 i l i CONRAD GENJACK.
